Plasmapheresis in the treatment of thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura
RM Bukowski, JW King and JS Hewlett
Two patients with thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) have recovered
completely after intensive plasmapheresis. The mechanisms responsible for
the improvement in these instances are most likely related to the removal
of an inciting or damaging agent. The possibility that this agent may be an
immune complex is discussed. Plasmapheresis appears to be useful therapy
for some patients with this syndrome.
